Adam is an undergrad studying Psychology. Ideally he would be focusing on his degree, but he can't sit back and allow the government to continue to oppress the people they claim to serve. The thing that annoys him most is hypocrisy: if the Tories don't want to help the most vulnerable in our society, so be it - but how dare they come out week after week and pretend that there is nothing they can do to end the suffering caused by austerity.
